Een Nieu Liedenboeck, van alle nieuwe ghedichte Liedekens, die noyt in druck en zijn gheweest, ghemaect wt den Ouden ende Nieuwen Testament, nv eerst by den anderen vergadert, ende nieus in Druck ghebracht (n.p., 1562) was one of the first hymnals of the Dutch Mennonites. It contains 257 songs in alphabetical order without notes. It was appparently printed by Nicolaes Biestkens. Only one copy, found in the Amsterdam Mennonite Library, has been preserved. It was called the "new hymnal," because there had been an earlier (first) hymnal, entitled Veelderhande Liedekens, which had also been published by Nicolaes Biestkens, and of which there were two editions, both lost, in 1560 and 1562. A second (enlarged) edition of this Nieu Liedenboeck appeared in 1583, with the title Het Tweede Liedeboeck. Many hymns of the Nieu Liedenboeck were included in the 1569 edition of Veelderhande Liedekens and in a large numberof 17th century hymnals.
